Letter From Canada – Part 1

We are learning about communities around the world and we really love learning about
Australia. We have some questions for your class and we want to tell you a little bit about
our community too!

We looked at your blog and we saw the video of what you think you will be doing in
fifteen years – we loved it! Some of us want to be professional sport players, too. We play
hockey, baseball, basketball and soccer here. Do you like those sports? Do you wear
uniforms at school? We also saw a picture where you each have an abacus. We use those
too!! In math right now we are learning how to do two-digit addition with regrouping.

We live in Delhi, Ontario, Canada. The population of our town is 4,172. What town do
you live in? What is your town’s population?

We go to Delhi Public School. There are 412 students at our school. We are a Grade
1/2 class with 11 Grade 1s and 7 Grade 2s. It is the Grade 2s that are emailing you right
now! The Grade 1s helped us with ideas, though.
